Don't want to be rude, but Shogo-san has misspelled and misread Okita's name, it's Souji not Soushi. You've made the same mistake in one of your old video and corrected it then Anyways thank for a great video!

I think there are two possible readings but because of Okita himself mispelled his own name we know how to read it. The characters in his name can be read as both "Soushi" and "Souji" but in one letter he signed using the character that can mean 2 if I remember correctly and in names this is always read as "ji" so if he made this mistake and wrote this character we can assume his name was read as "Souji" (very creative as he was born as Soujiro and changed name when he grew up). So, Shogi-sama, don't worry about mistaking his name... he did it too XD

@@Meanness_Scar It could not be mistake actually, people in Edo era didn't give much attention to kanjis as long as the reading is the same. Especially for names. So I'm not sure if he actually did a mistake here. But yeah the point is that the correct reading is Souji anyways

My favorite scene for Okita Sougo is when he’s in the train and he teaches his final lesson to his fellow comrade who sided with the enemy. I forgot what arc it is called. Maybe it’s the Shinsengumi crisis. I watched the scene a bunch of times.

@KhaiNguyen-ru7lk

it is shinsengumi crisis

This is just speculation: Perhaps Yananami Keisuke is not in the story because it doesn't work with the group dynamic in the anime. As far as I understand, he is the 3rd most important person after Hijikata and Kondo. Okita always aspires to become vice captain instead of Hijikata in the anime (not a huge spoiler if you haven't seen the series, clear almost from the very beginning). So a 3rd person in between doesn't really work.

I learned about Shinsengumi from Hakuoki. Which seems to be fairly historically accurate given it's a romance with fantasy elements! The names are correct, except they use a different reading of Yamanami (he's Sanan in the game), not sure why they did just the one.

Another speculation: I have a feeling that Yamanami Keisuke was also combined as one of the core character of Itou Kamotarou's characterization. I did some research and find out that both Serizawa Kamo and Ito Kashitarou died a very dishonarable way: both of them got assassinated by the Shinsengumi which obviously does not go well with... Itou's death in Gintama, while in Yamanami's wikipedia page I found this: >but when forced to choose between his friends and Justice, he decided to commit an honorable suicide and escape scandal. Sounds familiar? That's the ending climax of Shinsengumi Crisis arc, with Hijikata proposing an already dying Itou to fight against him in a duel to death; to help him not being branded as a traitor, to die a samurai way befitting a Shinsengumi member (Gintoki said this himself before the duel). Kondo trusting him so much almost to a fault also goes well with his relationship in the history. Okita wasn't a friend with him in Gintama but he did form an alliance with him for a short period before Itou shows his true color and was planning to assassinate his brother figure. Resulting in Okita snapping. The whole Shinsengumi Crisis was him having a beef with Hijikata 18:45 Yamanami historically as Shogo-sensei said was the third man of Shinsengumi. That's the same position Itou assumed before he rose to become the second-in-command after Hijikata got kicked. Also I'm not entirely sure how the image was built around it but when searching for Yamanami Keisuke images online 99% fictional anime/manga characters of him wears a pair of glasses. I'm not sure if it adds anything but perhaps there's a solid reason on why they give him the glasses trademark and perhaps Sorachi-sensei was also influenced by it when designing the character.

There also a pretty good anime about Shinsengumi is Hakuouki. Some incidents and historic timelines are quite similar to real-life occurrences =))))

My favorite anime gintama don't remember how many times I watched it

Thank you so much for making this video. Gintama is my favorite anime. It was because of this anime I started to watch the Ryomaden series and really got into learning and reading about the Boshin war era.

ありがとうございます! I love Gintama and I love the Shinsengumi

This deserve more view

Great video, thanks for breaking all of this information down. The shinsengumi are so fascinating and it's one of my favourite parts about Gintama how it uses aspects of history in the story. I've visited some of the key shinsengumi locations in Kyoto and they're fascinating. Also I love Okita's character too! My favourite fight scene of his is when he takes on the traitor shinsengumi in the train. Chills every time.

This was just so so helpful and informative. Thank you!

Great video! I enjoyed it very much! Gintama was actually more faithful to real Shinsengumi than I thought!

I see Gintama, I see historical characters I plan to use in my own story (with a twist) I am sure they don't mind, I click instantly ❤❤ Keep on good work, enjoy your time with you family and stay healthy and safe ❤❤❤

Great job as always!

Another day, another great video by Shogo

My first encounter with Shinsengumi in anime was not from Gintama sadly, but rather from Rurouni Kenshin, then later again in Peacemaker Kurogane. I definitely love your Shinsengumi videos though! Great job as always.

This is so informative! Thank you!

My first introduction of shinsengumi is in Rurouni Kenshin at that time I was too young to understand but I loved that series. About 7-9 years ago I started watching gintama now I can't escape from "rewatching gintama" abyss 😂.Love your contents. It is always knowledgeable and I always learn something from ur videos

I really like your haircut!! Great choice, thank you for the video! 😁💫

Thanks for making this video:)

Gintama is my favorite too!! Thanks for the video 😁

my fav anime and manga of all time, ty for this vid!

9:23 always happy to see a fellow fan of okita! he's easily my favorite gintama character, he's always hilarious and has some of my favorite moments in the series. it's hard to pick just one of my favorite scenes with him, so the ones that come to my mind first is the scene on the train during shinsengumi crisis, his fight with nobume in the thorny arc, and, of course, his fight with kamui in shogun assassination

I already hit like just before watching😂 this is how excited I am for this content lol. I really love Gintama too! Edit: fun fact: before watching Gintama, I was just interested to know what is Shinsengumi so I watched that clip you have about them, that's when I learned about them. Then you mentioned Gintama (that time idk about its plot yet). Days after that, I started watching Gintama because I watched one day with my younger sis and I totally got hooked because of its genre (esp. that straight & funny guy comedy & always breaking the 4th wall) and how its plot is somehow based from the history. It's like learning history in a funny way, but I just have to know which ones were real and a parody 😂

im glad u made this connection... we are buddies! i love gintama! its awesome u made this connection which makes me appreciate gintama even more!!

I am so happy you love Gintama. It is truly one of the best shows created

I love Gintama so much and it's just so awesome seeing an analysis of comparisons with their real life historical counterparts 😁. I got inspired looking into the history of the Shinsengumi due to the fact that I noticed several anime I watched had them in those stories or mentioned them. It's always a pleasure for me to see how interesting historical figures are interpreted in a piece of media all the while having the knowledge of them as they were in real life. Gintama, by far, captured my heart with it's interpretation of the Shinsengumi compared to others such as Peacemaker Kurogane and Hakuouki behind as close second/third.

Love the channel, i haven't watch Gintama now I'm curious 👍

The first time I Learned about the Shinsengumi was from Rurouni Kenshin but with Gintama was a lot different. Favorite Okita's fights: the train scene, his fight with Nobume, his fight with Kamui (plus the scenes with Kagura) thanks for the video !

I just started the video and I’m already excited!! XD

I'm here because I like Hijikata and Golden Kamuy. I didn't know Gintama was such cultural and historical before this video. Thank you, Shogo! 🇧🇷🇯🇵😃

omg thank youuu very much for this content. Gintama is also my moooost favorite anime of all time, its tha gateway that made me interested in all kinds of bakumatsu related, specifically shinsengumi and jouishishi ofc. regarding the 3 strongest in shinsengumi, were they Okita, Saito and Nagakura or Hijikata? also this is just my speculation, but maybe sorachi sensei didn't include yamanami keisue because it will add another fragile side of Okita. Gintama Okita is portrayed as a do-s, his fragile side already exposed in Mitsuba arc (which is because Sorachi wouldn't want to kill off Okita, hence Mitsuba got the tragic fate). Knowing that Okita and Yamanami were very close, and his responsibility on Yamanami's seppuku, Okita must be the one who took it the hardest.

Excellent video

Awesome video... Please make more content related to Gintama's characters and historical facts.. Arigatou

Saito Shimaru: full of hair, even hairstyled it to be Afro Saito Hajime: *bald*

Awesome video as always Shojo! Would you not mind maybe in a future video going over where one can learn to speak and write Japanese aside from a school? I think the hardest part is knowing where to start and what is and is not trustworthy to obtain a solid grasp of the language.

You really made my mind blow, and think how gintama author was genious to turn the shinsingumi into a thing in his anime. And thanks since you the only one who talked about things.

BECAUSE OF THIS I`LL WATCH GINTAMA!!! hontou ni arigatou sensei, love your videos!

I hear Shinsengumi and I click. I love your videos on the Shinsengumi!! I also feel required to apologize every time Matthew Perry is brought up. I’ve never gotten into Gintama, but I heard a reference to Shinsengumi as a kid and got waaaay too into the history. I didn’t like Hijikata as a kid as I didn’t understand the nuance of his behavior, but I adore him now. I try to remember Yamanami-san every year on his death because his story taught me a lot about standing for your convictions and philosophy.

My favourite scene was easily Gintoki vs Jirocho. Their fight at the cemetery was epic

Bro Gintama is the best, I'm even more of a fan of yours now cause you like it 🤣🤣🤣

Hello Shogo , as usual it is an excellent video , always interesting :) I would love to hear about the history of the Sekiotai (I hope I wrote it properly) . Cheers from Canada

It was the first place I learned about them, Gintama is also one of my all time favorite manga/anime ever, awesome and hilarious

Finally reached Silver Soul Arc. But after this video I guess it's time to start from the beginning again!

Thank you so much

thanks to gintama, i have been interested in japan history with all the parodies :) i think yamanami keisuke though he was not included by mr.sorachi, his story maybe was incorporated with itou kamotarou also. how he has conflict with hijikata, how okita was with him, and also partly the shinsengumi arc.

Hope you do more content like this

how did i go this long watching your videos without knowing gintama was your favorite manga

Thanks!

Okita on the train is my fav scene, the speed got me by surprise

I hope you make more Gintama videos

Okita's fight in the train, in the shinsegumi crisis arc was one of my favs 🙏

okita vs kamui got to be one of my fav fight in Gintama

Hi Shogo! Have you reviewed the Hakuoki Otome game that also had an anime? If you haven't, please do since is based on the Shinsengumi as well. :)

More GOATama! Lesgoooo!!!

Now I love gintama more than ever

I would also like to learn about the other Gintama characters and their historical counterparts. Maybe also the same about Rurouni Kenshin characters ^^

Manga introduced me to Shinsengumi is definitely Rurouni Kenshin. But this is also worth to mention

World needs history teachers like shogo!

Shogo-san,if you have the oportunity to watch PEaemaker Kurogane you please can talk about how they show Shinsengumi? Thank you again for your channel! It's helping me a lot cop with the pandemic here in Brazil!

10:07 I was expecting something like "nobody wins, they are equally strong"...On the contrary... Shinpachi you really shocked me😂 Okita so powerful😍

Please make a Samurai X movies review! And anime too... Btw i enjoy a lot your videos

That Mayonnaise reference after the conclusion part had me laughing out of nowhere.

Shinsengumi are so cool!

Gintama is one of my favorites too. something Gintama gets more correctly than many other anime for the Shinsengumi is Shinsengumi leaders often wears western style clothing(as evident bt various photo) and carries firearms rather than always wearing the aqua blue Haori and Hakama uniform that every other anime/games makes them wear.

I suppose you’ll next tell me they didn’t spend a great deal of time tracking down a silver-haired parfait lover, a black-haired rebel and a strange duck thing…I feel so lied to by Sorachi-sensei…

My favourite shinsengumi is saito hajime ... first knew him in samurai x....and he was my favourite.

Now I have to go back and watch the whole series again.... thanks Shogo! lol just kidding

I refuse to believe that Okita wasn't running around with a rocket launcher.

After all i watch Gintama, i realize guest Sorachi is an literature person... The way it's root from history except Gintoki,, and the way the series playn with pun word or the changing kanji character and still make sense were enjoyable Aren't it?

do you have video about the joi members too? like takasugi or katsura? i heard they also based on real person too..

I obviously liked gintama shinsengumi, but it was rurouni kenshin from which, I first got interested in the shinsengumi. Hajime Saitou is still one of my favourite shinsengumi members although in gintama, he got way less screetime than kondo, hijikata, okita and yamazaki.

Do you have a list for the mimawarigumi?

another accurate gintama shinsengumi arc was the one where nasty fungi infestation affected the shinsengumi headquarters in gintama. in another video by shogo-san, he revealed that the shinsengumi military stations where super dirty and unsanitary.

It's explained in the first few episodes of Gintama as a note that the names of the characters are changed due to "trademark infringement" or something else silly. I don't remember what the exact reference was but something similar. At least in the English subtitles. Maybe just as a subtitle thing as a lot of westerners wouldn't be knowledgeable?? I don't know, but it was funny.

I know Shinsengumi from "Hakuouki". I'm an admirer. 🙂

C'mon, man, don't mention the Okita Misuba arc around me, I'm still weak from it. Just too sad

Hi Shogo-san I found out about the Shinsengumi thanks to Samurai X a older anime series than Gintama

I support the author dating Okita's birthday on July 8~ lols, so I count it as something Gintama had right when all we have right now is speculation~ oh, and Okita was born on (Lunar calendar) June 1, Tenpou 13~ xD

Shinsengumi in Golden Kamui were cool.

I'm guessing Yamanami Keisuke appeared as Toshi in Gintama.

Rurouni Kenshin was my first exposure to the shinsengum.

Isn’t Yamanami the one with Okita during that arc where a girl stabbed Okita to avenge his father (in anime)? Or I mixed up the names?

Actually the Shinsengumi is not just in Gintama, they're also in Rurouni Kenshin (both movies and manga). Although there's only Saito Hajime that appeared and change his name to Fujita Goro in the story. 15:52 If you know a game called Fate Grand Order, Okita is also appeared there and does have a weak constitution. Sometimes coughing out blood during conversation scene.
